Session 267

(SESSION 267 (DELETED PORTION)]

[JUNE 13, 1966 9:42 PM MONDAY]

(From the 267th Session. Second delivery from 9:42 to 10:04 PM. Omitted from regular records, and so noted there. Jane's manner very active; her eyes were wide open and very dark for about the whole delivery.)

[(9:42.) You may, or you may not, include this in your notes as you prefer.

I did you see make my earlier suggestion to Ruburt, also in the hopes that it would initiate the sort of discussion in which you have just been involved.

I am thinking of you both. However there is also a fine psychic balance upon which our sessions rest, and this balance must be maintained.

Domestic tranquillity is highly important to it. The psychic partnershi that exists between you and Ruburt is absolutely necessary to our sessions.

Now within certain boundaries, and taking certain circumstances for granted, Ruburt is more flexible than you may think he is. I am simply not going to waste time by telling you that you have nothing to worry about financially, for neither of you believe me. This is quite all right. (Smile.) Were I in your circumstances I do not know if I would believe me either. The hard work of the last few years will indeed pay off, and shortly. It does not matter whether or not Ruburt gets a job because you are both simply unable to wait. It does matter if you worry too much.

In some ways you see you must both operate as a closed unit against the world, but you must also operate as an open unit, receptive to the world. You must close yourself off from some stimuli in order to fully utilize the stimuli that you do perceive.

Physical reality is noisy, and complicated, and riotous and contradictory. Nevertheless there must also be balance, for to close yourself off too much robs you of any abundant expansion of spirit.

The sense data is important, you see; the new balances that your separate personalities achieve lead you both to new expansions. Each expansion however must also be accompanied by a deepening security of necessary inner isolation. For from this inner isolation, you achieve the strength to expand psychically outward. When the balance is a good one, then the outward expansion leads to inner expansion.

You should have spoken quicker. When you do not you build up inner resentments that mitigate against your welfare. You are then tempted to see trivial disturbances as large ones, and to cut off all heads indiscriminately, in order to get rid of one or two main disturbances, because you can no longer tell one from the other.

In any case, your (smile) faithful companion, and so-quiet artner Ruburt, picks up your disquiet whether or not you speak of it.

Now he reacts you see by bothering you all the more, peeking in on you, to discover whether or not you are really upset, or rather, if his own imagination runs away with him.

When anyone is disturbed chemical changes occur, as you know. Now these changes affect the ways in which you perceive sense data. You know that you create physical matter. It is extremely important that you know your own emotional climate. For changes must come from the inside, and in that way you will change your environment.

I am to some extent an affectionate but detached observer here. Most of your personal recommendations were valid ones. If you had made a stand earlier however you would have saved yourself time and effort. It would be most beneficial for you to do some painting outdoors, or to walk outdoors.

I have said much of this before, and undoubtedly I will say it often again.

You may take a break before our Instream material. (10:04.)

(From the end of the same session---)

Now if I gave a note to Rob, I give one to you. You would do much better by being frank with him, for he becomes irritated and resentful when he feel you are upset, and is left to guess at the cause. For often he is not sure...

Now I could and will whenever you wish, discuss your personal situation, whenever you want me to do so...
